We ended up leaving Seattle rather late and ergo arrived at the parking lot at the ski resort at noon. There was a ton of snow and for a bunch of us this was the first ever snowshoe - and boy what a snowshoe it turned out to be.
There is not much of a trail - you follow the boundary of the ski-area until you hit a board which says (and I paraphrase) "Be prepared - you are entering the backcountry." After this, follow the footsteps and ski-trails and in general head up.
We had perhaps the most gorgeous day ever (the warmest of the year so far) and at the top we got tremendous views of Mount Baker, Shuksan. It is a brilliant hike this one!
